Kolkata, May 25 (IBNS): A superb bowling performance-led by Rashid Khan helped Sunrisers Hyderabad to outplay Kolkata Knight Riders by 13 runs in the second qualifier match to reach the final of 11th edition of Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Eden Gardens here on Friday.

Chasing a target of 175, Kolkata, despite a good start, lost back to back wickets to reduce to 161/9 in 20 overs.

For Hyderabad, it was Afghanistan all-rounder Rashid Khan who guided his team to the IPL final both with bat and ball.

After a powerful cameo of unbeaten 34 off 10 balls, Rashid disintegrated Kolkata's batting order by picking three wickets including Chris Lynn, who was going strong at 48 (31), to boost his team.

Shubman Gill, who was fighting till the last over, was dismissed at 30 runs, ending the last hope of Kolkata.

After the win, Hyderabad will take on MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings in the final on Sunday.
